The Four Words that should Define and Guide Your Adult Computer Lab Teachers from Neil MacQueen, Sunday Software Here's why I encourage churches to have adults at the computers when children are in the lab. Adults can peak interest, ask questions, pace activity, facilitate cooperative learning, encourage retention, test retention, call forth reflection, share reflections, personalize the lesson by relating content to the student's life, and can be attentive to the student's personal needs. Adults Guide --show students how and when to work with content and each other Adults Model --share enthusiasm for God's Word and how we share it together Adults Share --offer up their faithful reflections and those of your church Adults Pastor --are there for your students' emotional and spiritual needs "Guide, Model, Share, Pastor" --these four words should be in every Christian education computer lab. I have an entire chapter on Selecting and Training Teachers in my book Teaching with Computers in Christian Education This brief teaching help and others like it appear every month in Sunday Software's Email Newsletter.
